Knee Physiotherapists in Melbourne

Knee injuries are common among athletes, especially during high-risk sports like football and basketball. If your knees are giving you trouble, it’s best to start with a physiotherapist.

Solidus’ knee physio in Melbourne provides a holistic approach that begins by diagnosing your injury and assessing the movement of the knee. We then determine the best treatment program, which may involve soft tissue massage, strengthening exercises or specific braces.

What Our Clients Say

How can we help?

Solidus knee specialists treat all conditions and injuries of the knee, ensuring you receive the best possible care. Our licensed therapists provide evidence based, hands-on treatment that’s proven to work.

Heal your knee injuries

Knee injuries typically involve ligament sprains and tears, fractures, or tendonitis. For example, sprains occur when the knee ligament is exerted beyond its limits, while a fracture is a partial or complete break of the bone.

If you’re suffering from knee injuries that keep occurring, you may have weak or imbalanced muscles. Solidus’ Knee Physios Melbourne can prescribe a program to strengthen those muscles, restoring optimum function. Additionally, we can advise on exercises for proper knee joint alignment that can help prevent further injuries.

EXPERT THERAPISTS THAT UNDERSTAND YOUR NEEDS

Our therapists are all licensed health care professionals who can diagnose what your body is telling you and provide treatment to help reduce pain, correct posture, decrease tension, and improve the way you move.

I have been working with Julius and Daryl now for over 3 years and they have kept me healthy and pain free so I can continue training heavy and hard. Cannot recommend them enough.

Always diligent in both treatment and rehab recommendation.I always walk out feeling like I’ve been worked on, but not assaulted like I’ve had with other myotherapists, and as an athlete I’ve never been told not to do an exercise, instead given ways to modify it to work through the injury rather than the typical lazy advice to just stop moving until something heals fully.I also send my own clients here and am kept updated with information on how to conduct sessions around their injuries too.

I have been a competition prep & strength coach for many years with a number of my own issues and I have never found a more knowledgeable and competent team than Solidus. Their ability to not only assess and prescribe corrective exercises but their ability to understand and relate to top end athletes is second to none. I have had hip issues for many years and couldn't sumo deadlift my way out of a paper bag. Today I pulled 80kg for 3 with no hip pain at all. In fact it actually feels better after the doing it. That is a huge accomplishment for me. It can only get better from here. I cannot thank them enough ❤️

These guys are absolutely VITAL to maintaining my health. Super informative, and super supportive. I love that my recovery is not simply based on being treated, it's checking in with me between treatments as well as communicating with my Coach so that my maintenance is ongoing and proactive and not simply when I'm feeling sore.

Julius is always able to fix up any issues I run into from heavy and hard training. Beyond that the knowledge of the guys at Solidus is unmatched. Even small cueing adjustments to the way I lift from recommendations from Julius has helped me engage with the working muscles far more effectively.Could not recommended more highly!

It was my very first time to see a Myotheraphy for my shoulder that was sore almost two months ago. I was amazed how good Julius was and he managed to fix my shoulder. I can now lift my arm up high with not much pain. Also, Julius was great explaining how my muscles and my body works together so that I don’t put so much pressure on my shoulders. He’s also given me exercises to do to strengthen my shoulders, my back and my posture. I highly recommended Solidus Health in Clayton. Thank you Julius

I saw Julius for my golfers and tennis elbow, he was very knowledgeable and helped me recognise the ways I was putting stress on my elbow before I started on any recovery exercises. Both Darryl and Julius are great guys who also provided a very friendly and great learning environment for son during his work experience. I would highly recommend the Solidus team for genuine health care and support. Thank you Julius!

I have been getting treatment from Daryl for almost 2 years now and can say that he is the best physio / allied health professional that I have ever seen.I suffer from chronic pain, and the targeted combination of treatment and strength and conditioning programs provided have enabled me to go from quite limited to daily exercise that is very physical, ranging from gym strength work to running to ninjawarrior!After many other experiences where consultants treat the symptoms not the cause, Daryl is a master at getting to the root cause. He is also very patient and carefully explains everything to ensure a complete understanding.I can't recommend Daryl highly enough!!

I attended my initial assessment with Julius, and have to say it was an inspirational experience. Not only did he greet me at the gym entrance, but he expressed genuine compassion, and empathy towards my situation.Julius was immediately able to identify my issues, and assured me that by implementing the right cues I would be able to minimise pain, and hence injury, rectify my form and improve my overall performance.Above-all, he is incredibly intuitive, and couldn’t believe I met a person who shared the same level of knowledge and passion for philosophy like me.I highly recommend his services to anyone who has been through the monotonous, and exhausting cycle of seeing multiples providers and finding themselves back at square one.Looking forward to my next session.

These guys are the real deal - by far the best health and conditioning team I’ve ever seen in Melbourne. I’m a regular gym goer and runner and these guys always get me moving through any niggles and have me back in the gym and feeling better in no time. The strength program I’ve been following for my knee over the past few months has meant I’m pain free and feeling supreme confidence in my body for the first time in a long time. A must for any strength or conditioning athlete, whether you’re a weekend warrior or something more serious.

Great experience at Solidus. Came to Daryl with an unknown glute/hip issue from powerlifting that I had been nursing. He was able to diagnose and prescribe rehab exercises all within a one hour consult. After implementing these rehab exercises this hip injury went away almost instantly within 1-2 sessions. During this time I had also picked up a shoulder niggle to which Daryl was able to fit me in his schedule almost straight away and prescribe me rehab exercises to which this shoulder niggle went away over 1-2 sessions. His ability to coach exercises and explain to the patient what is happening was great. Definitely recommend.

I have been seeing Julius for a few years now and I have never looked back! He is so knowledgeable, has great attention to detail and is just a lovely person in general.I do bodybuilding and he always fixes any injuries through a dual approach:remedial therapy AND training cues/ adjustments. Everyone in the team is super nice and such great vibes. I recommend Solidus to all my friends and everyone that’s ever been loves them and is now one of their regulars.

I highly recommend booking an appointment with Solidus if you're looking to get back to sports or need someone to help with recovery post injury.Between Julius, Darryl and the rest of the team, they've helped me get back to playing competitive basketball post Achilles surgery and postpartum!Also the deep tissue massages👌They even accommodated when I had to bring my baby last minute.

Julius is the man! I have been hesitant to see a new health care professional after many years of sticking with one type. However, if you’re prone to injury like I have been and can’t seem to pinpoint why and how to help relieve and prevent it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Julius and his abundance of knowledge and care for the practice and his patients. Amazing work bro! Thank you so much for correcting my rowing pattern and putting me on the better path towards recovery and more gains!

Saw Julius to help with my chronic lower back pain, he diagnosed my problem within 5mins into the consultation by observing me complete a few simple exercises. He was very knowledgeable and efficient, the explanations he gave were all in line with how I felt and he customised a exercise plan for me on the spot and went through it with me to ensure I was doing them correctly. Julius was very thorough and honest too! Honesty is something I highly appreciate since it is a rare trait to find in any profession, he even said I probably wont need another session with him unless something changes significantly (instead of lying and stating i'd need a few more sessions). Highly recommend.

I was referred to Darly at Solidus by a very good friend who had achieved incredible results.After my first consultation I knew I would be on the mend.I had suffered back pain for over 10 years and thought it was something I would just have to deal with for the rest of my life.It was so bad that I could not finish a back workout or do any form of slightly heavier deadlifting at all.After following Daryl’s guidance with new programming, simple movements daily, getting squat shoes and actually learning the deep mechanics of my body (having long legs and a shorter torso) I now have NO back pain after 10 years. He has actually changed my life.I also had issues with my shoulders which he has fixed. Don’t get me wrong… you need to put in the work and follow the steps he gives you to adapt and change (in my case anyway) but with consistency I am a new person and am truly so grateful I was introduced to him.The only thing that upsets me is that I didn’t meet Daryl sooner 🥺Highly recommended.. no question or doubt at all. He is a Powerlifter himself so has on field first hand experience which is beneficial if you also lift weights.10/10 on all aspects. Very friendly guy also and always walks me out the door rather than just waving goodbye after our sessions.

In the last 2 years Julius Gastar has brought a damaged sciatic nerve back to life and restored wasted muscles in hip, leg and foot. I can now walk and drive again, where I had been numb from waist to big toe. Julius is an amazing healer - he uses massage, exercise, mind/muscle training, and weight exercises and encouragement to achieve his goals. He also consults widely on specific problems and issues. He has been a life saver for me. I am 78 years old - others had given up on me! I am still getting better even 3 years after spinal surgery. Thank you Julius.

Three years ago I had decompression laminectopies L4 mainly. I was numb from waist to big toe because my sciatic nerve was squashed flat. About 2 years ago a friend recommended Julius as he had helped her when noone else could. Since then Julius has brought life back to muscles which had stopped working. I now have movement in my toes and i can walk and drive again. It has been massage, exercises, weights and lots of encouragement. He has become an expert in feet and researches every problem and issue. It has been a long journey but he has brought me back to life and living. Irene Daly

FAQs

What causes knee pain & how knee physiotherapy can help?

Knee pain can be attributed to several reasons, including wear and tear of the cartilage, osteoarthritis, fractures, and ligament tears or sprains. It can also be caused by diseases such as arthritis, gout, or rheumatoid arthritis.

Our Melbourne knee physiotherapists can help you deal with all of these issues. We are experts in the anatomy, biomechanics, neuromuscular function of the knee and treatment of the area. We can prescribe a tailored treatment program to deal with any concerns.

What is knee physiotherapy?

This type of physiotherapy deals explicitly with all knee problems, from top to bottom. Treatments include massage, joint mobilisation, soft tissue massage, stretching and strengthening exercises.

Treatment is often prescribed in combination with at-home care to decrease pain and improve your range of motion.

What's included in our consultation?

A comprehensive assessment by our physiotherapist is included in the price of your consultation. We’ll determine why you have knee pain by conducting a physical exam, reviewing your medical history, and discussing previous injuries.

We’ll ask you to complete a series of simple exercises so we can determine the best course of treatment for your injuries.

Do you need a referral to see a physiotherapist?

You will not need a referral from a doctor to see a physiotherapist in Australia. As first contact practitioners, physiotherapists are an excellent source of advice and treatment for various medical problems, including knee injuries.

What kinds of knee pain do you treat?

Our knee physiotherapist will diagnose and treat any knee injury or condition. This includes acute injuries like fractures, ligament tears, meniscus injuries, or tendonitis to chronic degenerative conditions like arthritis, gout, or osteoarthritis.

Is there anything I can do at home?

At-home care is an integral part of your treatment. We’ll provide you with appropriate exercises and stretching techniques to help ease your pain and improve your mobility and strength around the knee.

You can also follow a low-impact home exercise program that can be conducted using only your body weight as resistance.

Should I exercise with a painful knee?

While participating in rigorous or high-impact activities can worsen knee pain, gentle exercise can be effective in restoring mobility and function.

Exercises like walking and swimming can help to relieve knee pain. When you remain sedentary, the lack of movement causes your knee to stiffen, and the muscles surrounding it weaken.

How do I know if you are the right clinic for me?

We’re experts in diagnosing and treating knee injuries, and we do it with a specialised approach.

Our specialists work with a wide range of clients with all kinds of knee issues, from elite athletes to older people who want to stay mobile and reduce pain.

Our physiotherapists are passionate about the profession and are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals.
